Bulk power cables suggestions
DH Labs makes quality bulk power cord. Encore is their 14AWG shielded (~$4.50/ft) and Power Plus is their 12AWG unshielded (~$7.50/ft).

+1 on Coda electronics / Legacy speakers synergy. 
Back to vinyl need phono stage help!
+1 for the Rega Aria. Also consider the Chord Huei. Both retail for about $1.5k and can ofter be found used for less. 
FYI Chinook Owners -- Diode Failures and Repair Upgrade

I honestly believe it would be difficult to do better than the Coda CSi balanced. I haven't heard any of the current Luxman models. 
Integrated to pair with Klipsch RF7 speakers
I was able to drive RF7IIIs to very high volume levels in a fairly large room with a 12W/channel Kingko Audio KA101 Pro tube integrated amplifier. Even a 300B SET amp (~8W) worked nicely.

Rega Saturn-R vs Ayon cd2
The Saturn-R is a real sleeper. I prefer it to the Chord Quest.I have not heard the Ayon. 
Does the Rogue Cronus Magnum III have any real competition in its same price point of $3k?
+1 Black Ice Fusion F-35.
